Deadhead Roses? #71502 July 4th, 2006 at 12:24 AM

OP Dennis Member D Joined: Jan 2006 Maine	Hi, I live in zone 4 and have 5 rose bushes I planted this spring and some have blossoms already. I am wondering, after the rose blooms and the petals fall off, do I remove the part that the petals were attached to? If so, do I just remove the head of where the rose was or do I cut the stem off? Thanks, Dennis

You don't have to wait until all the petals fall off. Unless of course you are harvesting seeds. Then I wait until the stem turns brown and snap it off. I love collecting seeds but doing that decreases the number of blossoms you will have.
